I'm Jamie Matthews, and I've been a counselor since 2007. I truly enjoy assisting clients in achieving their treatment objectives.

Using evidence-based techniques, I conducted mostly group counseling sessions and a few individual counseling sessions between 2007 and 2015. I worked as an outpatient therapist for children, adults, and families in a community mental health setting from 2015 to 2021.

As a social worker therapist grounded in mindfulness theory, my dream client embodies a spirit of openness and motivation for change. This individual recognizes the challenges that come with personal growth but approaches therapy with a willingness to explore and confront these difficulties. They appreciate the journey of self-discovery and are eager to gain insights that can lead to meaningful transformation in their life. In our sessions, I envision a collaborative environment where they feel safe to express their thoughts and emotions. They understand that progress may not always be linear, yet they remain committed to the process. This client values the therapeutic relationship and seeks guidance to cultivate greater self-awareness, resilience, and mindfulness in their daily life. What I cherish most about this ideal client is their ability to reflect on their experiences and actively engage in their healing journey. They inspire me with their courage to face discomfort and their desire to learn and grow. Together, we would explore various mindfulness practices and therapeutic techniques, fostering a deep connection that empowers them to embrace change with compassion and patience.

Michelle provides Christian counseling upon request. Michelle believes in the power of vulnerability and the beauty of resilience. She begins each day with the Serenity Prayer asking the Lord her Savior to not only provide her with the courage, strength, knowledge, wisdom and patience but to also be with each and every client she encounters to assist them in overcoming their hardships.

My name is Krista Smith and I have been in the mental health field since 2018. I started out in Residential care - working with teens who struggle with severe mental health challenges. I specialize using DBT as I have seen first hand, its effectiveness. I love its practicality and teaching aspect of coping skills. I have always had a passion of helping those who (at the moment) can't help themselves. It is amazing to see people gain confidence and ability to create their life worth living.
